Update

The past two weeks have been a blast. Last week started the KinderCare Environmental Camp where we jumped right into learning about plants, learning what they need to grow, and learning about trees and how to identify their leafs.

 Also last week we became scientist at our Science Day Camp where we conducted many different and fine tuned our scientist skills. We discovered what a scientist is, analyzed new specimens (raisins in Mt Dew), developed a boat to rescue the new specimens, but the tallest tower with team work, and studied the reaction when you put Mentos in coke. Over all the day was fun, all the kids wanted to stay longer.

 

Today was another eventful day at KinderCare Enviromental Camp where we had Chick Day. Last week they started a chick incubation progect and today they got to compare and understand the difference of country eggs verse as store bought eggs, learn the parts of the eggs, dissect and ID the part of the egg, learn the varieties of chickens and their eggs, understand the development and hatching process of chicks, and lastly  we where able to candle their eggs to see the development of their eggs.

Tonight is our first Camper Orientation for our first week of camp. Photos will soon follow. Words can not express how much I appreciate this opportunity to be able to work with the Fayette County Extension Office.
